Pardon my inexperience but i think it can't find the "My Documents" folder,that's why it can't be found, because if it has the word processor and the place that it's in ( c drive) all it needs is the right folder.
#RECUVA SHOULD SCAN FOR ZERO BYTE FILE INSTALL#
i was wondering if i were to install open office on my thumb drive and install it on the computer.Would that help it to find it? the path- the part where is says where it is- says" c:\?\Open \3\user\backup. The novel was pretty large i don't know the exact size, it was on Open Office.
#RECUVA SHOULD SCAN FOR ZERO BYTE FILE WINDOWS#
If you let us know what wipe means then we may be able to help.īy wiped I mean that they removed all the programs and internet, and put Windows XP Entertainement and Media, leaving just the basic functions. In this case is is impossible to recover the file except by finding and reassembling the lost file clusters, an expensive job. The Windows cleanup when deleting a large file will overwrite most of the data runs in the MFT records, and recovery utilities will not be able to establish the original size of the file, or its location. If your novel was a large file then it is likely to have multiple extents, and the data runs that locate the file clusters may be held in a second MFT record. The extent of the damage depends on what you mean by 'my brothers decided to wipe our computer.' I'm not advertising for them i am just sharing information that worked for me. Please use this program it will save you ours and days of trying to find your document. I have fixed the issue and have retried my document, but not with Recuva, with Easy Recovery, it's a wonderful program and much more advanced and detailed then Recuva. So i wanted to know if anyone can help me with this, and get my file back, and please in a simple easy to understand way! I have found the file and it says this : "No overwriteen cluster detected" and "0 bytes Unable to recover a file of zero size."I've read over some of the other forums and people have apparently been able to recover there things just as they were. I installed Recuva on my pen drive and am using it to find my novel.After my brothers decided to wipe our computer. I'm new to this whole tech thing and have spent the last 3 days learning about recovery programs and disk space.
